The dog-sled team is an iconic symbol of the Canadian north, captured masterfully in this $30 sterling silver coin. A team of huskies runs tirelessly across face of the coin, the frozen northern landscape spread out in the background. The selective use of colour highlights the team's traces and the parka of the musher in behind
